Hard Decisions....

Installed Norton on this machine, finally (no virusi! I'm a cautious surfer and paranoid emailer...).

Also have decided to completely close down EMG while I'm gone. I was going to train someone up to post adoption work and answer emails for me, but I just haven't had time, and my trust level is super, super low right now. Would have loved to leave Jennie in charge again, but her new car must have eaten her.

So, no new work will be posted at all between 15 December and 15 January, nor will emails be answered during that time, nor will orders be filled. Adoption claims and orders may still be placed. I'll also be closing all the submission sites and the upload site so I don't end up with an overloaded server problem. (Hey, my hosting company just tripled our bandwidth alottment! Woo!)

I really, really hate to do this and I hatehatehate that we couldn't get plane tickets any closer to Christmas. I always feel like I lose a lot of momentum when I have to shut things down.

Oh well. I'll come back with a bang, that's for sure.

Alright! Wish3 now...

I don't know if you have the option on your e-mail or if you know how to do it (I sure don't) but maybe you could rig it up that when someone sends an e-mail, your system sends an automatic response saying that you are on vacation?
My professors do this, just so people know the e-mail won't be answered right away.

Oh yes! I'll definitely do that; thanks for the reminder. I should start a right-before-I-leave list...

Where are you flying off to, if you don't mind me asking? Somewhere warm I hope? :)

The caribean! I've never been, so this is a marvelous treat. We saved up airline miles from building the house (we ran all our purchase through the credit cards) and have been waiting four years for this vacation. Sort of a belated honeymoon, and we'll be meeting Jake's mom and sister in Grenada for a week. The rest of the time is spread out around San Juan, Barbados, and then a few days in San Diego (zooooooo!!!).
